UPDATED: SEP 23, 2005 (Cask at The Wharf, Aalborg) - Golden coloured with very floral nose. The taste is like most other of their beers dominated by the very "in your face" hoppiness, yet still being pretty wellbalanced and full bodied.

Cask @ Charlies Bar, Cph.: Light golden coloured. Light unclear. Dense small white head. Fresh hoppy aroma. Some light sweetness. Flavour is floral, fruity and hoppy. Smooth and crisp on the palate. Delicious. Full bodied. Ends on a long lasting dry bitterness, that last for hours. I might not be the most experienced cask drinker, but this for sure is one of the best cask beers I’ve had yet.

CASK. Golden colour with a small white head. Hoppy light sweet malty aroma and a bitter dry very hoppy taste. Medium to full body and a bitter dry finish.

Cask at Charlie’s bar. Golden coloured, slightly hazy, no head. This beer is the ultimate refreshment. Flavor aroma. Pleasant hoppy finish. Great beer.

UPDATED: SEP 25, 2005 Hand Pulled At The Dove,Ipswich.Liquid gold in colour,small head,big dancing floral aroma,taste is of ripe rich summer fruits,nice hops as well,great stuff.

Cask @ Charlie’s Bar, Copenhagen. Have been looking foward to this beer with lots of anticipation, so when Jacob Löwenlund messaged me and told that they had got it at Charlie’s, I surely hurried down there. The beer: Has a fresh hoppy nose, flowery, very nice caramel malt notes. A very nice clear golden body, little fine airy white head on top. The flavor starts out sweetish and fruity, then the hop flavor hits you and end in a good long lasting bitterness. A very balanced and very drinkable brew. Truely worth a spot in Top50!

Cask at Charlie’s Bar. Served in pint glass. Slightly hazy gold. Very fresh, "alive" hop aroma (grass, fllowers). The taste is extremely well-hopped, fresh, assertive and juicy. Long, dry finish. The mouthfeel is very soft. Very good drinkability. A superbly hoppy and appetizing ale.

[Cask@Charlies Bar] Golden color with a white head. The taste is light malty with a full hoppy bitter pattern to complement the base. Very nice on the palate with the hops and the hops

Nice yellow colour with small creamy head. Aroma is fresh and hoppy with some citrus and grass. Flavor is dominated by the hops. Palate is super.

Cask conditioned - Gravity Dispense - Bedford Beer Festival. Straw golden coloured bitter with a beautiful citrus hop aroma. Very well balanced full on sharp hoppy taste, which is so clean and drinkable. One of the very best UK cask ales, belies its strength just tastes of hops and more hops. A real IPA???
